We’ve all been there. Traipsing to the bar, spending ages waiting to get served before struggling to carry your round back to your pals.

But the end of those dark days could be in sight.

One pub has decided to embrace technology in order to enable punters to beat the bar crush, allowing customers to place their order via their mobile phone.

Patrons of the Keyworth Tavern in Nottingham can even order their drinks on the way, thanks to the Orderella smartphone app.

After the order is placed the bartender brings your drinks over to your table, while all drinks are charged to an account.

Landlord Adrian Clarke said the app has already been a hit since its introduction on Wednesday night, telling ITV News: ‘A group of customers even had a bet to see which would be quicker – ordering a drink on the phone or going up to the bar as normal.

‘The phone app won.’

If the Keyworth Tavern isn’t your local then don’t worry – the app, which is free to download, will be rolled out at 50 pubs across Britain next month.
